5 peaks challenge 22nd-25th June 2009
Fundraising for Loughborough Students Rag
Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.
I think I must be mad - as those who know how fit I am will agree - but I've decided its time to give something back!
Last year my grandfather, who I have lived with in the UK since moving here in 1993, passed away from heart failure. He had his first heart attack over 15 years ago, and came very close to passing away on several occasions, but the treatment and care he received (significantly funded by the British Heart Foundation) prolonged his life, and allowed my sister, brother and I the opportunity to get to know him... as such I would like to do this challenge and raise as much money as I can to help other family's and thank the British Heart Foundation.
The 5 Peaks challenge is an adventure with a difference, as we will be climbing 5 of the highest peaks in Britain; Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Mt Snowdon, Helvellyn and Cader Idris in just 72 hours, sleeping on route on a tightly packed - and probably very smelly coach in June this year!
If everyone could give just 50p for each mountain I will be well on my way to achieving my target. However, I know things are tight for everyone at present, so please just give what you can!
AND IF I RAISE OVER £500 I PROMISE TO WEAR THE SHORT SHORTS (IN PICTURE) FOR ALL 5 PEAKS REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER!
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Loughborough Students Rag gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
